What our members say

In making a VR story I learned how to use the VR system by making a story and making it real. I enjoyed playing around with the different resources in VR to make a visual story. I liked using the different brushes and items in the VR too!

Andrea Popoca, Middle School Student

I would of never have thought I would get the chance to do this, and because of this, every time I come in this lab I do my best to use different brush strokes within Tilt Brush, or expand my knowledge through another VR Art program offered at TecnoLatinx XR Lab to see how else I can expand within this new digital world. 

Abraham Aragundi, VR Artist-in-Training

Thank you guys so much for the VR creator workshop! You definitely got a lot of us inspired to learn and do more in VR. Can't wait to learn more and grow my skills!
